Of course not. You do you, schmo. And of course, give the benefit of the doubt to the guy who actually posted the sexist comment, while telling the woman who reported the sexist comment that just because she documented sexism doesn’t mean sexism really happened is also “you doing you”.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt too
Oh. Except not with words, or in a post, or communicated in any way. But I am supposed to believe you?
By the way, literally posting the words, “Are you on your period, or something?” is LITERALLY the definition of a sexist comment. Literally.
But by all means, don’t believe me. Just read the words.
Yes, Analytics typed a sexist comment. Does that make him a sexist in his heart? I suppose it must, right?
We should open an investigation.
Ok. Let’s think this through. Someone makes a sexist comment. Your argument is that making a sexist comment doesn’t make him sexist “at heart”.
Let me guess. He pulled the sexist comment out of his ass?
My experience of listening carefully to highly intelligent and reflective women talking about sharing discursive space with men has taught me that quite a few of them have a significant accumulation of irritation (or worse) with the way us men sometimes talk and behave. I don't feel that way at all about women (in fact I tend to prefer their company to that of men), but I think that if I had to live as a woman I would probably feel the way they sometimes do about men.
Such women have usually learned, however, that it is better not to let that irritation out in the open very often - if they do that they are humorless, over sensitive, aggressive, shrill and so on. But sometimes it just overflows.

Sometimes, it's what you don't say.
But it doesn't matter to me whether or not you believe me. I know what I thought reading this thread.

Is that the standard? If someone writes something down, they must absolutely mean it? You best be careful with sarcasm going forward, lest you be accused of hypocrisy.
No, my argument is that when you read something, you have to consider the source. If you react to it without considering the source, you often look foolish.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Wow. This is a new level of defense for sexist comments. Just as a reminder, the comment was:
“Your thinking is cloudy. Are you on your period or something?"
And now, some schmo is suggesting that “react[ing] to it without considering the source” makes one “ look foolish.”
So I am wondering, what “source” could one consider that would make this comment acceptable?
Has it ever occurred to you that you have to give respect to get it?
If you think condescending to me is going to get you somewhere, you're as dumb as a rock. Cut the crap.
Lol. Has condescending to me gotten YOU anywhere? Dumb as a rock indeed. Cut the crap yourself.
Yeah, ok. I see where you're at. Fine. Enjoy your wallowing.
Hey everyone, Lem received a sexist comment! Let's all chuck her some well deserved sympathy, shall we? She's really forwarding the feminist cause, as far as I can see! Wow, what a legend.

Wow. Nice. I repeat your comment back to you, and you call it “wallowing.” Do you realize what that says about your comment?

Beyond the utter ass you have betrayed yourself as, do you realize that you didn’t answer my question?

So, SS, what “source” makes a sexist comment acceptable?
